"[A]n old man with an atavistic mustache and a desperate blond comb-over"

This level of descriptive brilliance in a news story about another Christian-right homophobe lo and behold turning out to have hired a male prostitute is the kind of thing that makes it difficult for students of "literature" to define what writing does and does not count as such.

The story didn't contain a picture of the mustache, so I had to search out a picture. See here:

As I suspected, it's what I would have called a "Freddy Mercury" mustache.
